Bicentennial Park, Middletown

Bicentennial Park is a park in Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey. It was created in 1976 on the bicentennial anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, and the hills also played a major role during the American Revolutionary War. On 29 June 1778, General Henry Clinton sought the protection of Middletown's hills as he withdrew along Kings Highway toward Sandy Hook, whence they embarked for New York City a week later.
